v5-6 bolt-ons?
what are all the bolt-ons i can get away with on a stock tune V5-6 STi RA?
was thinking:
FMIC
Rotated intake manifold
Cone filter
decat
fatermarket headers
full exhaust system
down pipe
Parallel Fuel rails
am i missing anything?
i'm going to have to find a tuner in Colorado (US) eventually

Are you staying with the O/E turbo???
Substantially your choice of turbo will determine what spec you need.
Tell us more but if you are staying with O/E turbo you are wasting your money on prallel fuel rails and FMIC and rotating the inlet manifold regardless of spec is a lot of effort/expenditure for little or no gain.

FMIC - Yes
Rotated intake manifold - No (not worth the cost)
Cone filter - Yes (not idea but forced to by front mount)
decat - Yes
aftermarket headers - yes (but make sure decent ones or you'll drop power)
full exhaust system - (thats the decat
)
down pipe - (part of full exahaust)
Parallel Fuel rails - No point at this level of tune
And as harvey says, turbo will be the critical thing to spec up the rest.

was trying to work parallel fuel rails, because i've heard horror stories of fuel starvation in Cyl3.
what would y'all suggest for a turbo upgrade? trying to put out a safe, reliable 360ish HP

though I would fit gauges and a KS3 knock Analyser to be on the safe side Tony
